Hi Shalin,
This looks pretty doable actually. We'll do them all for you. Would
you like us to submit the page to you in HTML or would you like it in
MS Word or Excel so that you can input the translations
yourselves? Either way is fine for us.
In fact, if you wouldn't mind putting a little acknowledgement at the
bottom of all that pages that we translate, we'll do these pages in
numerous languages for you. How does that sound? We can start off
in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese if that sounds good.
What I had in mind is something like this (for the Spanish
translation, for example)...

Hopefully, this acknowledgement over time will help us recoup the
cost of doing the translations by generating some paid work for us so
I think this could be a win-win.
Let me know if that's ok for you and we'll get started on it.
Thanks,
Jonathan

The website is a good start, especially the Solr tutorial page. Then there
are a couple of important wiki pages that would be great. For example,
1. Tomcat installation page - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
2. Jetty - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty
3. Adding documents in XML -
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages
4. DataImportHandler (this is a huge one, not everything may be needed)
-- http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler
5. Common Query parameters -
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters
6. Simple facet params -
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters
7. Using the Solrj client - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solrj
We can also convert the comments in the example solrconfig.xml and
schema.xml to other languages as they contain very comprehensive and perhaps
the most up-to-date documentation.
I know this is a lot so please do not feel like everything here is needed :)
We should be able to pare things down quite a bit. This is also a good
opportunity to organize the documentation better and expand the tutorial to
make it more comprehensive. If we can do that, translating that one tutorial
should be good enough.
